yep, my thoughts exactly. I'm using the lens on a canon T3i and I had considered the 50mm but I just wouldn't have the room for indoor and at auto meets/shows.

Even at that dealership I had a somewhat difficult time getting some of the bikes in full frame due to the limited room.... and I didn't want to accidentally tip over a $15,000 Ducati/BMW with a room full of people.
